5.0 out of 5 stars Jamie Rocks, Pops, Sooths, and Salsas On This Clever Debut!!, October 16, 2001

This review is from: Here to Heaven (Audio CD)

Most people know Jamie-Lynn Sigler as Meadow Soprano on the HBO series "The Sopranos", however one listen to this album and you'll realize that the only reason she auditioned for the role was because she thought it was about singing (and no I'm not kidding you on that one). In recent months however we have gotten a taste of Jamie's musical stylings. She recently starred in an Off-Broadway rendition of Roger's & Hammerstein's musical Cinderella. Also, you may have heard her cover of Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out" on the Levi's low cut jeans adds (you know the one with the singing belly buttons).
Well, now we get to hear her music full force with her sassy debut "Here to Heaven." This album experiments with just about every genre you can imagine: Rock, R&B, Pop, Hip Hop, Salsa, and other styles. On the album's first track, and lead single "Cry Baby" Jamie sings about holding out until the right time. (a theme not uncommon to pop music). Jamie delivers this message in a strongly R&B flavored pop track that toys with clever dance beats as well as edgy electric guitar riffs. On the album's second track, "Bada Bing," Jamie jokes with her role on the Sopranos (For those of you who are cable illiterate, the Bada Bing is the topless club on "The Sopranos"). The song is about being dignified and not playing into male fantasies. This is the first of three songs Jamie co-wrote on the album. The album's next track, "Pressure," is by far my favorite on the album. It's the edgiest, and most rock flavored song on the album. Jamie co-wrote this one as well, and it seems to have the most relevance to her life. It talks about always being in demand and being so busy you don't have enough time for yourself. "He Didn't Listen To My Dreams," is the first ballad off the record, and it's a very good one. It introduces us to Jamie's voice in its sweetest form, without heavy beats to distract us. On "Ole Ole" Jamie introduces us to her Latin side (She's half Cuban). Here she gets a little sensual as she sings about her sexy Latin lover. "Little Mr. Heartbreak" is in my opinion the best ballad on the album. It has a sense of raw emotion, and Jamie sounds incredible. "You Are My Heart (Tu Eres)" is a Latin flavoreded ballad with sweeping guitar beats and some Spanish lyrics. "Giving Up On You" is a pop track with some R&B influence and some club beats that make you want to dance. "Come With Me" is a pop track with strong salsa influences that Jamie co-wrote. "Sin Ti (Without You)" is a simple yet very beautiful ballad with Latin flavor that shows off Jamie as a vocalist. The album also features Spanish versions of "Ole Ole," "Sin Ti" and "Your Are My Heart". They sound the same as the English versions only they're in Spanish.
Overall, this is a great album. It has a lot of experimentation, and Jamie is a very impressive singer. I would suggest it to any pop or R&B fan, or anyone looking for something new and fresh to listen to.

1.0 out of 5 stars WHAT?, June 27, 2008

People seriously gave this five stars??? The first 3 songs on this unoriginal piece of garbage sound like one long boring cheesy song. And seriously, she has a song called Bada Bing? Why did she have to go there? Anyone who gave this craptastic junk more than 3 stars needs to have their hearing checked, for real.

4.0 out of 5 stars Meadow Soprano can sing (Bada Bing), November 19, 2001

By A Customer

This young woman is planning for a long career in show business ~ with both acting and singing. If you like Latin pop (ala Jennifer Lopez), you'll love this one. Jamie-Lynn explores her Cuban roots with several songs en Espanol. "You Are My Heart (Tu Eres)" should explode on the pop charts. "Bada Bing" is a catchy tune and will be appreciated by all fans of The Sopranos.
